Maribojo said the van was on its way to Davao City from Cotabato City when it engaged a curve in Barangay Takepan, Pikit at high speed.

The van, according to the statement of Maciado, had veered along the opposite lane and slammed into the Lawin jeepney she was riding.

After ramming into the jeepney, the van slammed into the M35 army truck.

"After the van smashed the jeep, it also hit our vehicle and afterwards, it turned turtle," said Barrientos who along with the five others injured were taken to the Kabacan Polymedic Hospital in Poblacion, Kabacan for treatment.
